	abstract = {<p>Understanding the broad patterns of cultural processes on the Northwest Coast requires specific studies of local variability. This paper draws on ethnographic and archaeological data to examine changing patterns of maritime resource use in one locality: Barkley Sound, western Vancouver Island. We examine three excavated village sites, focusing on Ts\&rsquo;ishaa (DfSi\&ndash;16 and \&ndash;17). Large village communities emerged on an economic base characterized by a wide range of marine resources. Salmon, however, played a relatively minor role in the economy until the final precontact stage (ca. 750 to 300 cal BP), when it increased considerably in importance. Various lines of evidence suggest that this shift reflects changing resource use and territorial access in Barkley Sound as local groups amalgamated and adopted a seasonal pattern of mobility.</p>},
